I am always happy to share my recipes. Especially ones I have had much success with. So look for a new cookie recipe each day! It's my little way to say Merry Christmas!!
My daughter Nicole and I love to bake Christmas cookies. We really don't eat many of them, but we do love to bake them.
Cookies are a great gift to give, and, I might add, a very tasty one. I love all the little festive bags you can buy to put your baked goods in. What also make a nice presentation are the cute little Chrismas plates you can purchase at the dollar stores. Wrap with some colorful cling wrap, fasten with a piece of ribbon and add a little bow. PERFECT!!
Holiday gift bags
Cookies are fantastic to give that special neighbor, friend, or teacher. It's something special from you and it will mean more than a store bought gift.
With the economy being so bad, and money being so tight, why not a special bag or plate of baked goods to show you are thinking of them?
What's wrong with an old fashioned Christmas? Why does everything have to be store bought?
Here is one of the Eno Family's favorite cookie recipes. They are called Snowballs and are absolutely delicious:
SNOWBALLS
1/2 Cup Confectioners 10-X Sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup pecans
Additional Confectioners 10-X Sugar
In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar. salt and butter; mix well. Add vanilla. Gradually stir in flour. Work nuts into dough. Cover and chill until firm.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until set, but not brown. Roll in additional sugar immediately. Cool on wire racks. Roll in sugar again. Store in airtight container.
Makes about 5 dozen cookies
What can be more special than a plate or bag of homemade baked goods sent with love?
Give it a try! I guarantee it will mean more than a store bought gift.
MERRY BAKING!!!!
